GATORS, SAINTS, LIONS IN 3-WAY TIE IN SI FIRST LEAGUE
It's a three-team donnybrook in the South Island First League... the Guedon Gators, St. Dominic Saints and Opelousas Lions are all jammed up with 7-3 marks... last year's champ Labadieville (4-6) is off to a slow start so far, but could get back in the race before the season is over... the Claiborne Cardinals (4-6) could contend, too... Des Allemands (1-9) is already too far gone to get back into the pennant race.
The Gators are the best hitting team with a .312 BA... Claiborne is second with a .279 BA... and Opelousas is third at .274 BA... the Lions have scored the most runs with 74 and are tops with 11 longballs, followed closely by Labadieville and Des Allemands with 10 apiece... the Saints have the best team ERA at 3.68... and Guedon easily has the best defense with a .966 FA.
St. Dominic's mound staff may be the difference maker in deciding the league crown... the Saints don't hit well, but they can manufacture runs with their speed.
